Le parti (écologie politique) est celui qui est le plus opposé au Vlaams Belang (extrême droite flamande séparatiste).

Bonus :
Et par contre, c'est qui qui est compatible avec l'extrême-droite ?

Comme idéologiquement compatible extrême droite, au duo MR–NVA, s'ajoute le CD&V.

Tu m'étonnes...
T'as un type comme Sammy Mahdi, à savoir ça ⬇️

"Fedasil semble avoir mis en place une pratique délibérée, concertée et persistante qui consiste à ne pas accorder le droit à l'accueil à des demandeurs de protections internationales "
— ordonnance d'un tribunal de Bruxelles

...et au CD&V, ils ont dit "Han ! Trop bien, on le met président de parti !" 🤮

BLINDNESS: October 7 and the Left ~By Hadley Freeman

After October 7, many on the left justified, dismissed or championed acts and beliefs they would otherwise view as unconscionable. Why?

the doomerism w/in the western "" just tells me that we need more organizing spaces. older activists tell me how far we've come. identifying as a root cause to our issues was uncommon 10 years ago. wasn't taken seriously 5 years ago. most people didn't know about 5 years ago!

activists have made such great strides. the ruling class is running out of excuses. why else are they using such violence twds us right now?

Saw Civil War today. It was incredible. Safe to say the moral of the movie is "be careful what you wish for". If you're worried about being beaten over the head with politics, this movie does not even broach it. I know that sounds impossible, but it's true. The only problem (or the good thing?) is that both sides of the political spectrum will see themselves as the heroes.

Really great movie. Be careful what you wish for.

@wagesj45
To me, anyone that sees themselves as the hero in this movie missed the point - fighting a civil war is terrible and destroys your own home.

There will be alot of people that miss the point.

@kcarr2015 Yeah, for whatever "good guys" there are, absolutely no one in this film has a good time by the end. I think that is maybe part of the appeal. You can see yourself as the good guy and still get the point. If they had clearly labeled one side or the other, half the audience would have been resistant to the message because "it was biased."

Sono almeno 112 i morti e centinaia i feriti tra le persone che si sono accalcate spinte dalla disperazione intorno a un camion nella speranza di ricevere aiuti alimentari. Testimoni e il corrispondente di Al Jazeera sul posto hanno riportato che le persone sono state attaccate con proiettili di artiglieria, missili di droni e colpi di arma da fuoco

John Pavlovitz hits the nail on the head regarding how fatuous "progressives" in the US continuously snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and serve the ends of the hard right as we tear away at each other and refuse solidarity with each other on the basis of ridiculous dogmatic purity politics.

Spend only a day on social media and you see this over and over and over again. We do not learn and don't want to learn.

: "The lessons that Bevins’s defeated protesters offer at the end of If We Burn bear repeating: plan for the day after; progress isn’t inevitable, and a better world doesn’t automatically emerge from protest; hierarchy isn’t an enemy; if you reject representation, someone else will represent you; cultural visibility and political power are separate things; power rushes to fill a void. Surprisingly, many of these interviewees are convinced that the past decade was just the beginning. That’s something the defeated often tell themselves, but in truth it’s hard to see world politics calming down. Some hanker after the old parties, but attempts to synthesise the best of both worlds – ‘networked Leninism’, in Rodrigo Nunes’s half-joking phrase – might be a better way."

People on the #left: Don’t be fooled by right-wing claims that #unions & #strikes are ”anti-market”. On the contrary, they exist precisely because big business is anti-market.

In a #market #economy, everyone sets their price. A market that offers better working conditions for skilled workers, moves workers where they are happier.

But in a #monopoly, there is no option. For a worker bound to a location (due to family etc), the local factory is a de-facto monopoly.

Pro-market vs pro-business.

”Every victory of the fascist right is due to the failure of the antifascist left.”

Naomi Klein quotes on the new episode of @parismarx podcast.

https://www.techwontsave.us/episode/201_how_the_mirror_world_distorts_our_reality_w_naomi_klein

She continues: ”The right moves into the voids the left has left.”

And this is VERY important:

Even if the right has an objectively worse offering, people are going to take it when the is not there.

We ignore them cause it seems silly anyone would take a worse deal, but theirs is the only one heard of!

I am tired of all the posts and reposts attempting to stoke outrage. It’s the same whether it’s the on / the or the on / / #X.

Friends, please start tagging your posts with content warnings. Otherwise I’m going to miss your messages as I indiscriminately mute and block you for being indiscriminate outrage posters.

volkris,

@mjgardner you can’t focus on blocking hashtags for topics you don’t want to hear about?

Appropriately enough for this weekend, I had an epiphany about managing my feed.

The only reason to receive boosts/reposts from someone is because I want to see what they believe requires no commentary.

If I find that their boosted topics are often bad takes, I should just turn off their boosts: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#hide-boosts
